Marblehead - Chandler Hovey Park 4/10/11

[RadHal]

Gorgeous spring day in Marblehead, dove with fellow scubaboarders Petripes, Lobzilla and Gorock. Beautiful clear Sunday morning, calm waters (39F), not great vis (~15ft) but nice to get wet and meet up with new friends. Last opportunity this month to dive from Chandler Hovey Park in Marblehead before the boating season starts in May. Had a nice post dive lunch in Salem. :cool2:

Well I was hoping for a picture of the lighthouse but it seems you guys had a great time in and out of the water. My kind of diving.

I hope to get back to simple fun diving this year instead of always needing to go someplace exotic because I have seen this and that before. Nice to get together after a dive instead of immediately packing up and hitting the road.

Saturday was quite nice. Thanks for that report.

I've never been there. Is it undivable during the summer due to boat traffic?

 

[mmerriman]

can only be dove weekdays in the summer

Added pics of the lighhouse, see OP. Dive site is to the right of it (not one New England's most picturesque landmarks)

Hey thanks Radhal

Now the report is complete. I just have a thing for lighthouses may be some sort of addiction. Maybe my dream of being a lighthouse keeper with an air-compressor has something to do with it.

Once again, thanks for sharing that shore dive.
